There are two car parks you will actually use for Staubbach Falls. Both are paid, both are open around the clock, and both are a short walk from the village centre.
Compare the options
| Car park | Price | Spaces | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parkhaus Lauterbrunnen | CHF 18 per 8 h | 974 | Zuben 479, at the town entrance near the station |
| Parkplatz Lauterbrunnen Kirche | CHF 12 per 8 h | 168 | Pfrundmatte 423, by the church; managed by the municipality |
The prices and numbers come from the jungfrau.ch car park pages, read in November 2026. Other sources quote 975 and 140 spaces, which shows how these figures drift.
Which to choose
- Short visit to the falls and Trümmelbach: the church car park is the cheaper choice and sits closest to the falls according to switzerlanding.com.
- Overnight or several days: the Parkhaus has a multi-day price table. One guide lists CHF 18 for one day, 31 for two and 44 for three, with stay limits of 3 days in summer and 5 in winter. This is not an official source, so confirm before you rely on it.
- Going on to the Schilthorn: the valley station is at Stechelberg, which has its own car park (CHF 8 for 8 hours on the jungfrau.ch page we saw).
Tips
- Arrive early from June to August; the smaller church car park has fewer spaces.
- Keep your ticket: one guide says the Parkhaus ticket is a QR code that allows re-entry during your stay.
- A car is optional here. The train from Interlaken is simple, and hotels in Lauterbrunnen let you walk everywhere.
Skip the parking question: many visitors take the train and use the PostBus to Trümmelbach Falls. See getting there.
